Hello,
That means that one of the cartilage discs situated between your vertebrae, between the last two vertebrae in this case, is bulging causing some mild compression of the nerves (which nerves on which side can't be said since you don't mention it).
It has no effect whatsoever in your ability to remain pregnant, there is no relation at all. Physical therapy and over the counter pain killers like Ibuprofen if in pain are recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
